It is BOA and is sent to all current and future characters on the account you redeem the code on.

It scales with your riding skill and is usable as a ground and flying mount.

Will ride at 310% speed if you have a 310% mount in your collection.

Commento di CautionWetFloor

AH. This thing is absolutely epic. Gorgeous mount, available in the Blizzard store for $25. http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=1100000942Honestly looks ten times cooler in-game than shown in the above link. Blizz did a great job on this one, imo. Got it today and absolutely loving it.Similar to the Headless Horseman's mount http://www.wowhead.com/spell=48025#comments in that it scales with your riding skill. I.E if you're a level 20, you can have this mount as a normal riding mount. Once you get higher riding skills, the speeds increase. Also, once you get the flying skill, it will be a flying mount as well. :DBest part; It's bind-to-account, so you really never have to buy a mount again, if you so choose. Think it'd be worth the $25. Looks epic as well :P

Heh, I would only trust Blizzard in spending real money on the game, at least from what I've experienced with online MMOs. In the state of the global economy, you could buy an ingame item with RL money, and they could shut down the day or week after. I trust that Blizzard has millions, if not more stockpiled from other sales. :P

Commento di Deet580

This mount makes a flying take off sound when you jump even if your in a no flying zone.

Commento di Deet580

This mount IS 280% if you do not have a 310% mount

Commento di stevindir

Personally I think this is abonminable.

Every other mount in this game is obtained through some sort of graduation in status in the game, either by leveling, achievements, time subscribed or lucky drop. This is just opening the gates of further cash-purchase upgrades. Next, you'll be able to purchase heirlooms with real money and buy tabbards and other items. It's just fodder for game addicts to waste money on.

My girlfriend (bless her) has already bought 2, 1 for herself and 1 for me. While it was sweet I hate it. Reminds me of games like FlyFF and all the other pay for upgrade titles.

*I intentionally didn't mention the the card game code items. Some people might actually play that for fun.

Commento di sawtooth

lol don't jump off a cliff like i did and expect the mount to just fly u gotta remount first!

Commento di Smilomaniac

I purchased it as soon as I saw it and it feels very cheap to own.

I think the worst thing is that low level characters will be using this as their leveling mount. You'll see level 20 characters riding this here and there.

Commento di cheesemonster

Because $25 is cheaper then the 10 silver or so the starter mount costs now? Strange way of looking at it.

Commento di Tolki

Things you should know before purchasing:

From Blizzard's FAQ regarding the star pony's speed: "Much like the Headless Horseman's mount from the Hallow's End event, the Celestial Steed will automatically upgrade in speed as the player advances in Riding skill. For example, the Celestial Steed will run at normal ground speed if the character knows Apprentice Riding, and epic ground speed with Journeyman Riding. The mount will be able to fly at normal flight speed with Expert Riding, and at epic flight speed with Artisan Riding. In addition, if the character has a 310%-speed flying mount in his or her collection, the Celestial Steed will also fly at 310% speed."

You can get the mount on any character you currently have or create in the future.

The look of the star pony will change drastically depending on your particle density settings and other visual options, more so than other mounts, for obvious reasons.

Because this mount is transparent, you will be able to see your legs/dress/cloak through the pony's model. A small point, but one most people wouldn't consider, and I know it would irk me.

If you want this mount to stand out in a crowd or to show off with (lets be honest here), think twice, because as of the first day it already looks like one in ten mounts in Dalaran are these star ponies. Sure, they stand out, but they aren't exactly special.

Commento di wadark

Just going through a cursory test, the Particle Density option has no effect on the Steed's appearance, testing other settings now.

Edit: Texture Resolution also has no noticable effect.

The Celestial Steed is currently the most cost effective mount in the World of Warcraft. Not only is it in the running for the best looking mount, this horsey will set you back 0g. Yes, it's free ingame. But £17 GBP. A nice little addition to the collection, and currently the only non racial level 20 mount purchasable with no work.

Commento di Poorlonesomewarr

It's a friggin' armored Pegasus. How can anyone not like it?

Blizzard was right, I AM proud to own one. I don't care that other people will get it was well, I don't care it wasn't related to a specific achievement, I only wanted a mount that looks good, and this one does.

Hi, My question is what is the difference between buying this mount for $25.00 USD and buying gold or any other item for X amount of USD?The reason I ask is because this is new to me. were you can by a virtual steed in exchange for real money. Or buying fake money (gold) in exchange for real money?Or is this totally differente?

Guys, this is a pretty serious and well made question. It is answered above, but it has not been confirmed, yet.Please stop downrating this guy (I think it's a guy, due to it's vulgar speech, correct me, if I'm wrong..) until the 30 days have passed.

You can create a test-character to delete it in about 30 days, when you opened your mailbox again.

However, I think nobody would refrain from opening the mailbox on every character, since it's just one chance and a pretty neat mount.

Oh. Wait. Just by the way. Is THIS the pony Deathwing wanted to give every player? Well. *pets Deathwing* Thanks :)

Commento di oedura

Trying to figure out what you guys mean precisely. Do you mean that if you mount this in a NO-FLY zone, it mounts as a ground mount and then if you enter a FLY zone while riding, you have to dismount then remount for it to become a flying mount?

This, exactly.

If you mount this in a flight zone you should have no trouble jumping off any cliffs. I haven't.

Commento di DANEgerous

Al long as they only sell vanity items they are doing what paid content should do and that is a very rare thing.

Here is an analogy. This one works as if you bought some waffles and the salesman sells you ice cream to go on the waffles, if you don't want it fine the waffles are fantastic.

Most DLC works by you buying some waffles the salesman then burns the waffles to a black char and tells you you need to pay for more waffles that are not burnt, don't want to? to bad enjoy you crap waffles.

Or in a nutshell this gives you know combative advantage so people who do or do not pay the additional cost are on a level playing field. If WoW say sold a trier set that would be the latter of these as well as the day i cancel my account for that is the reason i never paid for say, Rune Scape or say one of the facebook Zynga games wherein one gets more for a different level of pay.

Commento di fatdog

If Blizzard's way of keeping their greedy overlord off their asses is to exploit their addicted customers for hard earned cash in a tough economy then you're okay with that? You honestly think people collect 100+ mounts for no reason at all? If they did, why would the achievement system even be relevant? They put the 100 mount achievements in to AFFECT gameplay. Not in the sense of raids/pvp/etc, but in keeping interest in the game. You got nothing else to do? How about killing turkeys for no apparent reason? Yay, achievement points!

Commento di fatdog

My comment was sarcastic. I realize that no "varies on location" mounts work without remounting. That's my problem. The fact that the headless horseman mount requires a remount when zoning (say going from indoors Dalaran to flying out of Krasus' landing) is absurd. This should be something that takes priority over a "lil XT" pet.

I mentioned the price to be cynical. $25 is an absurd amount of money for a mount that performs so poorly.

Commento di fatdog

@DANEgerous

You're right. Because nobody has ever made this same argument about those very mounts. >.>

Commento di Naludog11

Its kinda worth buying for the fact that you can use this mount with all riding skills...when you advance your riding skill, it advances its riding skill to match yours. this is a nice mount bcuz its one of the few that can fly and be used in the eastern kingdoms and kalimador...i am all fer the mount xD

Commento di fatdog

They had stated before that they will use the Blizzard store to sell vanity and cosmetic items.Selling things on the Blizzard store such as gold and items does not fall into the category of vanity or cosmetic.Selling things on the Blizzard store such as mounts and minipets does, in fact, fall into those categories.

They had also stated that there wouldn't be any PVE>>PVP realm transfers, and no faction/race changes. I guess a company does have a right to decide, however, it does a major disservice to their credibility to make such drastic changes.

Commento di Caeadas

On your first toon, with no outside help, this might actually help you while leveling. But this is hardly any money to anyone at max level.

Commento di Anjalena

I just read the articles you posted. I'm not only flabbergasted, I'm angry! I mean, every company is about profit because you really can't exist much without profit, but this is something else entirely. This is, to my mind, evil and cruel and hateful. I don't mean the sale of the horse mount which I said myself I'd love to have. But not for this price. Not the $25, which obviously it isn't worth. (and whoever said you get all your mounts without having to work for them... somebody worked for that $25 I would imagine) I mean the price of the fear and depression and hate and other horrible work conditions of the people who wanted to work for Blizzard because they loved the games it created. I've worked under horrible conditions due to a supervisor or boss who treated me horribly. I'd go home in tears every day, feeling trapped. But I kept going back because I had to... I had a son to raise and we needed to eat and there were bills to pay.

I love WoW. I've played it for 5 years now. And I want to keep playing. I had plans. And I want to see what's going to happen to Azeroth for Cataclysm. But I don't want to put another dime in that man's hands. Not my dimes. That $15 a month could easily go to any number of charity organizations who help people who have to deal with adversity that this jackass obviously doesn't. If adversity builds character, then this guy is almost more hollow than anyone I've ever met.

I'm not saying I'm quitting. I don't want to be one of those ragey, spur-of-the-moment decision-makers who changes their mind tomorrow. I'm thinking about it hard. But right now my tummy is in knots... I feel sick. I love you guys, the whole community. We've spent a lot of hours together playing this game, talking about it, learning about it, and helping each other. I just don't know if it's worth it right now. I just don't know...........

(obligatory on-topic statement: pretty star horsey. i enjoyed watching it in action. wowhead's 3D preview above doesn't have it in full animated glory yet with the stars moving about, but hopefully they will so I can just watch it when I want. i definitely will not be buying it.)

Commento di Anjalena

@DanDaMan -- Have you not heard of the article about how companies, especially game developers, train and condition their customers in order to keep them coming back for more? We are human, you realize? And as humans, we all know we have free will and choice... because we have brains and can think. But as with everything, there's a downside. Our brains work in a specific way. Knowing how the brain works and how to exploit it has been studied for a long time now. Now there's actually research statistics and actual marketing plans that target the way a customer's brain works in order to keep them coming back indefinitely. What do you think the leveling system is? And we needed something to do when we got max level otherwise we'd get bored and go play other things. So, there we have raiding and gradually better sets of gear. Why? Cuz we naturally compete. How many people have you known on WoW who are competitive to a fault or have spent months and months raiding over and over, despite the fact they HATE it now, just so they can try to get that one piece of gear that eludes them? The achievement system? One big carrot dangled on a string in front of us. And to make sure more people would get involved, since Achievement points don't mean diddly (yet), they dangle rewards... special mounts and nifty titles. It's all been studied carefully, tirelessly, thoroughly so they know just how to draw you in and stick a hook in ya! (me too... even though I know this stuff... i still love my games)

They use this information at big corporations too in order to exploit their workers in the fashion they want... get the most blood, sweat, and tears out of them without actually running them off or killing them. (metaphorically, i hope) It's all psychological. Our brains are incredible instruments... but they do have their traps.

No... Blizzard (and that abomination of a CEO) isn't bullying us. They're much too rogue for that. That's the name of the game. (pun intended) And knowing it, we'll still keep coming back for more. Don't believe me? Check out this article:

This is just a general guess but i believe that blizzard is selling 5 million of these only as in the time i was waiting to buy one the amount left went down 1 percent while blizzard sorted 50,000 of the mounts however people could have been buying more than one:50,00x100=5,000,000 for those of us that can't multiply :)

Right, and obviously those who don't buy this but still play 24/7 (for some reason when I say that, I scroll up and look at your name) totally have lives, amirite?

People, people, would you get over it? It's a mount, and it costs real money. Big ^&*!in' whoop. It's like a little bit of an extension of the game. You buy an expansion, you get more content in the game. Same goes for this, only on a much smaller scale.

Sure, it might not necessarily be worth $25, but it's Blizz's content and Blizz's game. They can charge what they want, and if you don't like it, I guess it sucks to be you.

Commento di yoshi9270

one, anj, how does a virtual horse create horrible working conditions for the people who work for blizz: if you want to say that their job is as horrible as you say it is: then you should give us a reason to believe you. secondly, you've probobly given them enough money to save hundreds of lives around the world during those 5 years, so i'd start wacking yourself first. third, the fact that a company makes enough money to stay afloat does not mean that it should just sit back and relax - instead; it should be thinking of new ways to expand until it dies: like a deadly leech or a fat person(excuse the humor). personally, i think the idea of a store for vanity stuff was a very smart idea and i see no reason to be mad at them. i only see reason to be mad at those who are angry at other people for buying something with their own money that was made by someone you dont know.

Commento di Zaelan

Ya, ya, you see that little text that appears when you hover your mouse over the uprate or downrate options? It says "insightful/funny" and "poor/redundant".

Your comment is not very insightful (insight on the fact that I am apparently a bundle of sticks because you didn't get your not-so-hard-earned uprates, it seems), nor is it funny (of course, then again, it is laughably pitiful). On the other hand, it is poor and redundant, especially when the question you are asking was answered already, and you'd know that if you bothered to read through the comments carefully.

Oh, wait, I'm sorry, I'm making sense. Pretend I never said anything at all.

@yoshi9270 -- Scroll up and click on the links in badkarm4's green, nicely-rated comment. That should be the answer to most of your confusion as to my comments. Also, I stated that every company is about profit. They have to be in order to survive as a company. Hence me playing, and paying, for 5 years. Yeah, Blizz is greedy. A lot of people are greedy, especially companies. That's just life. But if you read up about that guy, the CEO of Blizzard Activision, HE's the one I don't want to support. He's the one I was talking about. His "plans" and agendas are what I'm opposed to. And it shocked me, the things he said, in public, about his workers and everything. Thus my drama-queen reply.

Anyway, drama over. I'm off to play more Vice City (which I've been playing over and over and over since 2002) or I might try out Twilight Princess or I might even play a bit of Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon.

Commento di Senael

This kind of hits the nail in the coffen for me. I was having a really hard time putting up with the pets for sale in the first place. Now a mount, and no cheap price either. They want the price of half a new vidio game just for one of a hundred mounts in a game I supposedly already own. Some of us work really hard to get rare mounts/acheivments and then someone with more money then brains gets to have a better one for throwing blizzard endless cash. Your fools if you think its going to stop at vanity items. It'll start there, then turn into selling conveniece items, from there minor upgrades, and finally top end upgrades. They already offer very little for the monthly fee, collecting massive profits, making people wait 6 months for as little as a new dungion, 2 years per expansion and what do they come up with? Pay more money. Give it a couple years and everything off a vender will involve real money and everythng in AH will have a real dollar tax for blizzard to collect.

Commento di Yugameru

I bought TRH, and I just looove the people QQing about it, because their tears are the sweetest thing in the world for me.

I work for my money, and therefore I can do with it what I want, I spend it every month so I can run around with my pixel-mage in a pixel-Azeroth, and now I spend some more money to have him ride on a pixel-horse from space.

So I take my TRH and run around in Dala, just for having people rage at me, so I can have a laugh. Some people are only jealous because they don't have enough money to spend it on useless things, while others try to be rational in a stupid way. "I spend money to hit my head against the wall, over and over again, until I pass out. But I would NEVER pay money to hit my head against that other wall. Because that would be like...totally retarded." It's the same. You pay money for pixels, but you won't pay money for pixels.

It was the same when people insulted me for "waisting my time" when I got my violet Proto on the first day possible. I did it beacause I can.

So either I am wasting my money, or I am wasting my time, for which I have to pay money. In the end the servers will shut down and nobody will have anything anymore. And I don't think there are many people left who play WoW out of fun...

Commento di Felreaverlovesme

I, personally, enjoy the concept of this mount. It allows all forms of travel, if that character possesses the means for said travel.You don't really have to buy the other mounts, unless you want the achievement, variety, and so on. Makes it great for saving up the money to focus just on the riding skills, or your professions.

Overall, my only complaint about this mount is that the color and style of the mount tends to 'dull' after a while. By dull, I mean that it just doesn't look cool after so many re-mounts and with nearly the whole server having them. But, that's why they have other mounts, right? =P

Anyway, just wanted to voice my opinion about how awesome the utility of this mount was.

Commento di aFluffyFartBall

# Available only to players on realms located in North America, Europe, and Korea.# Players who purchase it receive a code similar to that of the loot cards. When you enter the code in your account all characters are mailed a copy of this pet, as well as any future characters you create.# Unlike other mounts that scale to your riding skill, if your character owns any 310% speed mount then the Celestial Steed will also move at 310% speed.# Though the mount is adjusted to your riding skill and location, it only does so when you mount up. For instance, if you mount up in Dalaran, you will have a non-flying mount. If you then ride into Krasus' Landing it will not automatically turn into a flying mount. To fly, you will need to dismount and mount up again, just like Magic Brooms in Hallow's End.# As of the date of release, those using old graphics cards or using fixedFunction will see odd graphics on the model for this mount

If you get the "red" debuff in Borean Tundra after killing an animal the mount turns a very pretty color of red. The armor and the "stars" turn red.

Has anyone else had the issue of this not scaling correctly to your riding skill?

I'm currently logged on my Warlock, who has her Dreadsteed, and the skill to use it, yet my Celestial is only scaling to 60% Ground, not 100%, like the Dreadsteed is.

It's not a huge issue, just a matter of inconvenience, really, and I'm just wondering if anyone else is having, or has had this issue.

wadark, it's not 300g.

Here's the numbers.

Mount cost, assuming one of each rank:161g per character, with no rep discounts.8050g if you use all 50 character slots.

Mount training:5243g 20s per character, with full rep discounts.262,160g if you use all 50 character slots.

Now let's get into the subject of 'free mounts'.Getting a free epic flying mount is ridiculously easy, hit 80 and pug H. Culling, you're nearly guaranteed to see a Bronze Drake these days. Don't want to hit 80 without an epic flying mount? Ok, pick up a regular flyer, go do your Netherwing dailies, you get a free drake. That's 100g off the money you'd save, so assuming each character spends 61 gold on mounts is entirely reasonable. That means you're spending 3050g on mounts if you use all 50 character slots.What about the loaner flying mount? Well, if you're willing to stomach it, you can level through Northrend to 77 without flying, pick up a loaner in Storm Peaks for free, and spend only 11 gold on mounts, or 550 for every character.What about free epic ground mounts? Farm a Deathcharger, a Z'G mount, the hawkstrider from Magister's and you're down to 1g/char, or 50g total.

In contrast, no matter what crazy tricks you play with free mounts and such, you will always pay 5243g, 20s per character for training. Assuming full rep discounts, which you probably won't have at the time you're buying regular ground and epic ground mounts, and very well may not have when you pick up your flying. You're saving less than 1/30th of your training in mount money.

As of 4.0.1, with flying mount speed scaling, it's only 61g total for mounts per character with no rep discounts. Training, on the other hand, goes up to 9243g per character with full rep discounts. The training costs aren't even factoring in the Flight Master's License or Cold Weather Flying training.

It definitely adds up, but the exchange rate is pretty lousy. Buy the mount if you like it, not because it's going to save you gold, because in the long run? It's saving you less than 10 dailies/character.

Commento di Glittergroin

I've heard some people say they didn't like the mount when it ran on the ground because the legs look too "spindly." While it is true that the torso for the horse is thicker than other horse mounts in the game, this was necessary to accommodate the wings, which need a place to sprout out from. Maybe now that this mount has been designed, Paladins and Warlocks will get winged versions of their class mounts.

Commento di Luciel

Since when did pets and mounts become game breaking items? If people want to spend money on this stuff let them what right do you have to say how people spend their own money? Fair enough if it was some kind of game breaking item (eg legendary item or whatever) but its not it's a mount... I could just as easily argue "Oh my god Blizzard are selling WoW Mousemats! How long till they start selling epics?"

Take a step back and see it for what it is and get over it.

Commento di ShinShadow

There is an interesting glitch about this mount tho for the Shadow Priests out there. I'm not sure if it happens to all races, but on my draenei when I'm on the steed, I used dispersion and took off shadowform and I went invisible. Tested this with someone else watching me. And you are invisible to them as well, and non targetable unless they select your picture from party or use /tar <name>. All anyone can see of you is your name. To come out of being invisble, simply get off mount, or go back into shadowform. (other things apply too like going through portals.) Becoming invisible does work no matter which riding skill you have.

Tested with getting into combat: You can be tab targeted, but still remain invisible when taking damage as long as you stay on the steed.

So yea, basically you can stay invisible as long as you are on the steed after using dispersion and taking off shadowform. Does not work for putting shadowform back on. Have fun! :D

<.< Ok, so apparently with patch 3.3.3, it's for any mount, not just the steed that you can go invisible with if ur a shadow priest. XD

I now own this mount and I just want to say "It is Beautiful!".

I understand that some people will not or cannot afford to pay $25.00 for an ingame item such as this...But for those who can afford it and want to own this horse it is very much worth the price.

Here are three reasons why it's worth it.

1. Every toon you have now and every toon you will ever create on any realm will be proud owners of this mount.2.You can use it from level 20-80 and it even scales to epic flying speed.3.It's simply beautiful and unique.

Here are some of the beautiful effects that this mount has.

1. It has animated stars surrounding it.2. The armor is swirling with Twisting Nether effects.3. It has a unique sound both on the ground and in the air.4. It seems to have a slow fall effect which is for looks only and does not absorb any damage.

People who can't buy it or just refuse to buy it have no right to judge or make rude gestures toward those of us who do. My personal opinion to all is, if you want it, go for it, you wont regret it at all. If you dont want it, please refrain from being rude and enjoy riding whatever mounts you do have.

I truly hope that Blizzard continues to offer items like this in the store.

If you go in water its wings will flap as if flying. Also is unmountable in water

Commento di Heekale

(..) # Though the mount is adjusted to your riding skill and location, it only does so when you mount up. For instance, if you mount up in Dalaran, you will have a non-flying mount. If you then ride into Krasus' Landing it will not automatically turn into a flying mount. To fly, you will need to dismount and mount up again, just like Magic Brooms in Hallow's End.(..)

I think this a letdown. Having never owned a Magic Broom, I just found out the Celestial Steed needs to be remounted on order to make it fly riding into Krasus' Landing. I would not have bought it if I had known it. I did put in a ticket about this. Maybe if more people put in a ticket Blizzard will fix this.

Commento di Akakios

Let's keep this short and sweet. By buying (and defending Blizzard on the topic of) these mounts, you have contributed to the slow and putrid degradation of WoW and the MMO (and possibly gaming) industry as a whole.

Let us assess this with a series of logical statements:-

Blizzard is a capitalistic venture. They cannot be blamed for their actions revolving around this more than a dog can be blamed for being a dog (a better analogy that it looks, in fact), but they can be trained (not) to do certain things. This is the crucial point that people seem to use to defend Blizzard, for whatever reason.

Blizzard, as a capitalistic venture, has two specific goals: Make as much profit as possible and keep people from complaining about it, or at least making a large ruckus over it. (Otherwise known as "keeping their reputation intact".) Admittedly the latter has became less and less desired since Kotick has took the lead, due to his slash-and-burn policy regarding the industry.

Twilightmounts have a massive profit margin (hell, they have a massive profit/work hour margin, which is the main problem with computer games, they take lots of money to create) and there are very desirable for Blizzard to sell.

Lots of these mounts have been bought, within a tiny amount of time. Thus, Blizzard have made a massive profit off these, despite the ridiculously low amount of effort involved in creating them.

People are defending ( PRAISING, at times ) Blizzard on these mounts. What reputation loss? They seem to be getting a better reputation.

The next logical step is directly game effecting items. (Well, in terms of product, my next step would be to implement a system to purchase the product from within the game itself, expect it soon.) They've been slowly ramping up the in-game effect you can have with your money since October 2007. It's a very gradual, but nonetheless there, growth, but it seems to be on an exponential curve. The singularity is near, people.

Other gaming companies and industries will follow suit. If you thought DLC was bad, wait until you can buy "RLY COOL HORSIE SKINZ" in Dragon Age: Middle Aged People.

TL;DR: Everyone who bought a mount and defended Blizzard during this is a moron who is incapable of realising that they are contributing to gaming companies exploiting the hell out of gamers with bull&*!@ products.

PS. I find it hilarious how people are defending Blizzard by saying it's a capitalist company and then switch to defending them with quotes saying that Blizzard will never sell items with an in game effect. They're complete and utter contradictions, guys. Also, you're a f**king idiot if you trust the word of people trying to sell you stuff.

Final thing: Before anyone comes in anyone comes in and claims I'm a "hater", realise that it's possible for the average person ( including me ) to buy a couple've hundred of these mounts, we just don't buy into gamer exploitation. kthxbai.

-Actually, I meant Options of spending 25USD / 20euro. Wow playing time for that amount is way better choice, than one single item. Answer me whats better,

1 cool mount for 20 euro / 25USD

or

raids, random dungeons/heroics, chatting in game, buying phat epix (for virtual money), LVLing, playing AH, farming, professions, grinding and more and more (all that in 1 playtime for same money)

I think something on my mage is bugged, as an aside. She's level 63, just bought 225 riding skill so she can fly in Outland now (I guess that changed some time back when I wasn't playing for a bit as I remember flying and epic flying both requiring level 70), and while the steed does indeed fly at 150% for her, the tooltip says it's only 60% on the ground. I have a Swift White Steed in my inventory that I've been using, so I know that can't be the case... unless the item is bugged. Has anyone else seen this?

Saves you 128g80s - 161g per toon you level (depending on your reputation level). For those who like to level multiple toons, this is worth getting. For a first time player, it might even be worth it as that's a decent amount of gold at 60.

Commento di Wirxaw

Hmm....fail. Epic fail. Another money-sinker. But this time - real money. Poor variation of Invincible. Moreover, if it really is redeemable on all of ur characters - expect to see lots of people riding it soon.Honestly - this mount made me think WoW wants to borrow some of eye-candy stuff from Aion and such MMOs.It is a bit scary to think what Cata is going to be. Especially after Muqq's curse.

I haven't tested this with the Steed yet but with pets which are mailed to you for various reasons the timers on the mail have still been at 29 days on a couple of occasions when I have forgotten to go and get the on long-forgotten alts up to about 3 months after they were sent.

If you want a bit of technical underground, these items are sent to you the moment your character first access mailbox after the moment you became eligible for receiving an item. Depends on the server load and network delays, it could or could not appear in your mailbox when it open ("access" and "open" is two different events, if you don't know it yet).Therefore, if you didn't accessed mailbox for a long time (suspended account, or just didn't used a char for example), these items will not be sent to these characters in first place. That's what you perseive as 29 days timer.

Commento di AnrDaemon

It's not exactly "just one mount". It's knowing that you'll never have to buy another mount again (unless you're an achievement-centered person). Seriously, knowing that all my alts are perfectly set now that they won't need to buy fliers/epic fliers, or that my newer alts wont even have to buy regular/epic land mounts? Yeah, I'll pay $25 for that.

You missed the price of skill to ride compared to mounts price? Well, that's your choice.

Commento di madatom

its cool, dont hate it man, besides its better then the MW2 DLC

this is basicly a mount that you can get and use for your entire wowlife, from level 1 to 20, i even assume this thing will have a swim speed increase function for cata

so basically its a mount that runs flys and swims, you really should invest into this thing

I have a lot to say about this, how long till they sell gold? Blizzard has become a total sell out, what was once epic is now a load of bollocks! I feel sorry for anyone who plays this game now﻿ because you'll NEVER experience the feeling of something that actually was hard to archive and felt epic... now u can just trade real cash for mounts.... so yes, wow is past its peek point and is now loosing its customers so expect gold to be in the store soon too....

Seriously I thought that out of every mmorpg I have played, I never thought WoW would do this... its the ONLY thing which kept the game just a little tad epic, but now they have gone and done this, theirs absolutely nothing epic about this game anymore....

All the things blizzard said they would not do, they have gone and done, except selling gold, power ups and what not, but hey I know for a fact that this certainly will come in, after all, blizzard dont care about their game, just their money, after all, its just a bussiness right? all about greedyness and money and *!@# the customers!

Sorry but if you think that spending out 25 bucks or so to get a epic mount makes you look/feel epic, then sir, you are a fool, because I bet EVERYONE has this mount, its not a hard achievement to whip out ya daddys credit card, spend some cash, and ride around with a awesome mount, infact I think they should have a achievement for most money wasted on virtal stuff....

This is the end of WoW as we know it, but we already knew it would come to this anyway....at least I did.

Everyone I once knew who played this game quitted....so enjoy playing with your so called 'epic' stuff, I just lol because its not epic at all and everything is so pimping easy because your all retards who find the game to hard to accomplish, that I bet life must be a drag for you, an I pity ya :)

better choice - if u going to play long term, better to pay single 100g for each mount on each char (max 10 chars on each server), which is 1000g. A thousand gold is easily earnable in about 1-5 hours of gameplay (professions, auction, farming, all in general)

So, pure logic - farming max 5h to get that amount, or spending 20 euro to get it instant

This steed not only scales to your riding level; it also scales to your location. If you summon in Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, or Dalaran you will summon as a ground mount. If you summon in Outlands or Northrend you will summon as a flying mount. To my knowledge this is the only mount in the game with this feature (other than a couple extremely rare holiday mounts). Since I bind my mounts to my middle mouse button, this saves me the burden of having to mess with my bindings/Action Bars when I change locations.

Interesting little glitch I've found with this mount...

If you recieve the In-Game Mail with the Mount attached and retrieve/use this mount in Dalaran without ever flying with it (i.e. Use it as a land mount from the mailbox to the Dalaran "Landing Pad" and try to fly out from Dalaran)... it wont fly!

You'll have to use and alternative flying mount to move to an area outside of Dalaran and use the Celestial Steed to fly back in before you can continue to use it to leave Dalaran in the future...

Does that make sense? o.0

I can verify that if you leave it in your mailbox, it will stay at a 29 day expiration time no matter how much time lapses.

Honestly, yeah its kinda cool that you buy a mount with real money, but I hate it, you might wonder why well one of the reason some people play this game is for the feeling of accomplishment kind of like changing the mounting level from 40 to 20 would i mind 35 no but anything lower then that is 2 easy like its not that hard to get to 40 specially with dungeon finder now a lot of those skills like ghostwolf and aspect of the cheetah are almost pointless destroy 29, 39 battlegrounds people can chase u down in those battlegrounds so yeah i think this mount is cool but if i find it ruins the feeling of earning Your mount 25 is next to nothing i personally think it should be 200 be a lot cooler then and your mount set for life so its not like it would be a loss and you could at least feel like u earn it and less people would buy it so it would be alot cooler to have it place change the mount constantly so that only some people in the game would have it

sorry if this went a little off topic

Commento di deffar

That mount is made from the tears of noobs, crack cocaine and stars..

Commento di Norngrim

As of 4.0.1 It would appear that if you mount up in Dalaran on this mount then run to Krasus Landing you can immediately fly without remounting. The same is true in reverse, if you mount up in krasus landing and go into dalaran, as long as your mounts feet are on the ground when the dismount buff goes away your steed turns back into a ground mount without getting you dismounted. Woot Celestial Steed lovers rejoice

Commento di shippou

Also as of 4.0.1 the steed started being annoying and a bit unfun.

1) Likes to do noise whenever jumping so if you are a happy scout like me it will drive you nuts

2) No longer uses his wings when swimming

Blizz, I am dissapoint

Commento di NetherAspect

It's kinda overrated, but it is definitely worth the $25: 1- You never have to buy a mount in-game again 2- It's a cool collector's item 3- The /mountspecial is just AWESOME 4- The little stars that come out of it are cool 5- It's based off one of the hardest bosses in-game

Commento di Kataya

Does the steed really have to make an annoying noise each time I jump?

Commento di Keiser

I don't mind the noise when it jumps once, and when I'm going up hill spamming jump I can't stop laughing.

This is easily worth the $25, it's good enough that I wish it was the mount I got for Mountain o' Mounts. It's absolutely gorgeous.

It's even better because ALL my alts on that account get it. No longer must my blood elf rogueress ride a stupid battle chicken. Worgen huntress, you will ride upon the back of the starry night.

Note I put emphasis on my characters being female. A male tauren on this looks ridiculous, but the ladies are oh so dainty on their noble steed.

Edit:An additional and VERY useful part of this mount is that you can mount it under water in Northrend, then jump out of the water straight up, and immediately take flight. The only way I've ever done this was on my druid using flight form. The X-53 rocket from RAF and any future mounts that let you ride it as a ground mount as well as air should let you do this.

Commento di Keiser

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned, this can be mounted underwater even in Northrend. You can then go straight to the surface and take flight without going to land. I find it very useful for mining ore nodes underwater.

Commento di Johnh2255

To all the arguing, if you are willing to pay $15 a month, to enjoy your life a little more, well there you go. If it costs $25 for 10 minutes of joy, there you go.

But when you're complaining about someone, or yourself spending $25, you need a job. $25 isn't much money, yes, maybe if you're living in the poor areas of the world. But If you have a full time job, or hell, even if you work part time, it's not much.

Commento di tisen100

How to annoy the crap out of people:

Go to a large, highly populated city.

Find a wall or a corner.

Start jumping into the wall and hitting space bar repeatedly!

I was bored in Stormwind today and decided to do this, and got many, many threats of people saying they would report me. But is it really my fault? Its the mount making the noise after all, not me ;)

Commento di Guzen

It is so damn ugly i cannot understand why people are buying it :O

Commento di Laustia

By the way, at the Shattering, where you get the epic flying ability grandfathered in for free if you have a 310% mount: Does Not Work for this mount. Yes, it has the capability of going at a 310% speed, but I did not have my epic flying, and still do not, though I do own this mount. Just in case anyone was thinking of buying it to get the free speed increase.

(Hey, it looked like a good priestly mount! My warlock grumbles about it though.)

Commento di Ikagos

Too bad it sparkles..

Commento di Guzen

I REALLY cant handle how UGLY it is! Do people say it's cool just because it costs $$? Or are they blind?

its sold at the blizzard store for 25 emblems of george washington

Commento di vucko

I like belves, but I don't like chicken they ride on. I also like draenei, but don't like riding on an elephant. And then this mount came and made me happy :)It is not my favourite mount in the game, but still, it is somehow pretty, and makes me that much happier while leveling alts.

Commento di Khavanon

At Cataclysm launch this mount is bugged, flying at 150% in the Eastern Kingdoms, even if you have the 280% riding skill. It flies at 280% for me in Kalimdor. Someone with the 310% riding skill would have to confirm this.

Commento di Catlover74

I would so buy it if it could walk on water too. Oh, wait. nvm. We can fly everywhere now. xD

Commento di Lyneux

Is this true? The horse no longer has 310% speed?

Commento di ChaosD

I had a strange bug a few days ago. I was able to mount this steed as a passenger, however not on the horse's back behind its owner. Instead I was standing on its head in a really weird position :X

Everytime I see or hear one of these mounts in-game I throw up a little in my mouth. You want one? More power to you, but I think it's very my-little-ponyish girly.

Commento di aesh001

If you want this mount. Simply you only have to go to Blizzard.com then go to Blizzard store, then write in the search bar Celestial Steed and then just buy it.

Commento di iLive

There's already a screenshot inside the bundle, but here it is if you prefer links.

Commento di anjexu

Not a bad looking mount, it does seem to be a bit expensive considering Blizzard's costs, but if it were any cheaper I fear we'd see too many people with this mount (making it less "prestigious" if you will).

Commento di Hean

Is it only me who've experienced that this mount changed colour by itself? If you fly to the swamp of sorrows you become somewhat green, no I did not use the Disgusting Oozeling or any item of any kind, just flew through and the colour changed all by itself, go and try it.

Commento di Phagist

Yes, this horse IS made of STARS.

Commento di Gorgimer

This used to be my favorite mount when it first came out. It was so universal that I had no need for another mount. But now I hate it when I'm flying on this mount because the constant flapping is annoying. Even as you move foward on this mount, it maintains the in-place-hovering flap noise. This is a fairly new bug, post cata. It's probably a known bug, but I doubt they care. If your looking for a quite, peaceful, and cheap way to get around (maybe while farming for a couple hours) a Swift Yellow Wind Rider will do just fine.

Does anyone know if you can use this mount in entry battlegrounds, like Warsong Gultch, etc.

WE NEED TO GET THE FRONT HOOVES OF THIS THING FIXED

Horses hooves don't bend or move that way unless their ankles are broken. I know you're going to use this model to for Tyrael's Charger and it's going to look just as ridiculous as this steed and Arthas'.

HERE IS HOW HORSES MOVE, at no point in time do the front ankles bend forward or flop around uncontrollably:

Commento di Takata

This mount and others that you can buy from the store are definitely worth it weather you are lvl 1 just starting out or lvl 85 and working towards that mount achievement. And yes they level with you, including the Winged Guardian and Tyrael's Charger.

Commento di davidventer

Is it just me or do you guys also find the sound of the wings flapping in flight mode extremely annoying?

I really love my Celestial Steed, it's pretty and fun to ride but flying it for more than a few seconds causes major headaches with that annoying, loud, obnoxious sound barrier breaking, air crushing wing flap noise. I wish Blizzard would make the wing flap sound a little less annoying or they should allow us to exchange it for another pet store mount with less annoying sounds.

Commento di hamilcar35

This mount is available on the Blizzard store for $25 USD.

It is BOA and is sent to all current and future characters on the account you redeem the code on. It scales with your riding skill and is usable as a ground and flying mount. Will ride at 310% speed if you have a 310% mount in your collection.

But , also 1 lvl players sell that mounts and smilars in game with gold after u get mount they payback their 25$ from credit card so u saw your mounts is gone u open ticket aabout it and blizzard just ban that 1 lvl player dont give ur gold back so be carefull blizz dont do anything about this scam dont buy this mounts with gold ! (Experienced today)

People who complain about RL-purchased mounts should be equally offended by TCG mounts. Actually, TCG mounts sort of annoy me because Blizzard is encouraging people to gamble on getting the mount (people who don't want to play the TCG but want the mount) and encouraging a ridiculously expensive grey market for TCG mounts. At least with a purchased mount like this, you are definitely getting the mount for $25 and not having to spend hundreds on useless cards without any guarantee of getting anything.As to those who are concerned about mounts displaying their achievements, it isn't like anyone can buy mounts for specific achievements. This mount doesn't look like the mounts you get for achievements. Also, once another expansion or two come out, those achievement mounts will be easy to get too. Once, getting a Twilight Drake meant something; now it is something one or two 90s can do in four minutes.Finally, buying an Expedition Yak: 120k gold. Countless hours of in-game gold farming/playing the AH. No serious in-game achievement. Buying the horse: $25. Less than a day's work at minimum wage...

When I bought this mount as of 9/10/2014, I got one in my mail on one of my toons, but could not learn it, saying that it was already known.I contacted blizzard about this, and they confirmed that buying this mount causes it to automatically show up in your mount list, as well as send you one in the mail.

I will say, however, that this issue did not come up with that Cuore degli Aspetti mount bought on the same day. This one was not automatically learned and was able to be learned from the item in your mail.

This was posted for anyone who might think to themselves "oh crap did I already have this?" like I did.

Commento di Christian271

Here is a list of "spectral" looking items. Comment if you know any more.

In areas where you cannot fly, this mount currently overrides every other mount you may have set into Favorite: no matter what, the Celestial Steed will always be summoned by Evocazione Cavalcatura Preferita Casuale.

Obviously a bug, should be fixed soon =P

Commento di robredwine

The last couple of days I have received 2 more Celestial Steeds in the email to my Bank Alt for some reason. A Celestial Steed a day keeps the goblins away?

Edit: make that 3 - looks like I'm going to get a daily steed - lovely

Commento di BASE303

Fun Fact

I received this after subscribing to the now defunct World of Warcraft Magazine, which was cancelled after two editions due to low uptake.

Celestial Steed was offered as way of a thank you/apology when it was cancelled. So not everybody who has this bought it off the Blizzard store!
